The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 53 • Diversion Plan
The private jet landed at the executive airport at Puerto Rico. Unlike other of her visits, Amelia did not have a smile on her face. She picked up her small luggage and exited the jet. She always loved to carry her own luggage as it was a way of proving to everyone that she wasn’t old.Exiting the jet too was Enzo, dressed in a suit and dark shades. He looked like one who was ready to kill anyone who comes in Amelia’s way.The hotel chauffeur was waiting for them outside as soon as they got into the car, they drove off.The hotel was a small, quiet one at the side of the island, not too far from where the Houston Corps branch was located. Amelia had lunch and freshened up and then it was time for her to begin what she had come there for.She made sure her visit to Puerto Rico was kept private from the staff and directors over there as she wanted to take them by surprise. She believed that if she informed them of the visit, they would be ready to give her multiple excuses.When she ar

“What are we going to do about this now ma’am? Do we go back to New York?” Enzo finally spoke and Amelia put down the phone.“With immediate effect.” She responded, her voice thick with suppressed rage.The next morning, they were on the flight back to New York. Charles immediately went to receive her on noticing that she was back.“Welcome home Ma’am, I believe your trip was…” he was saying but Amelia walked right past him. He turned to look at her in confusion but she headed for the stairs, without even bothering to respond to his greetings.Charles found it quite unusual as Amelia was always cheerful and ready to chatter about her trips. Just then, Enzo walked in with her luggage.“What happened in Puerto Rico?” Charles questioned.“Someone has been threatening her staff.” Enzo only said before walking past him as well.Charles didn’t know the full details but he knew what that meant. His brows furrowed as he shut the door.“I knew it! I was damn right!” Amelia fumed as soon as she
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 55 • Must Sign On Each Page
Amelia pushed Vanessa away from her."Stay away from me and my family, you freak." She cursed out."You are in my home, you should stay away." Vanessa responded, with a smirk on her face. She glanced at Matthew one more time then she walked away. "Let's go." Matthew said to Amelia. He was trying to contain his anger and he didn't even hear what Vanessa had whispered to Amelia, he only knew she had said something really bad because of the expression on Amelia's face.They both didn't say a word to each other till they got back to their home.************Very early the next morning, Matthew left for Houston Corps. Lola was to resume work that day as his secretary and he wanted to be there when she arrived.He was at the office when Lola suddenly rushed in. She paused at the door, obviously startled to see Matthew already on the seat."Um...hey." She mumbled and Matthew lifted up his head to look at her."Hey? Is that how you greet your boss? Does that sound professional to you?" He sn
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 56 • The Name Winchester
Raymond had no idea who Selena was but he certainly knew the name 'Winchester'."Winchester?" He asked."Yes, she has been quite helpful. She is just very young and is currently one of the biggest shareholders in Houston Corps." The head of directors replied and Raymond nodded."Okay. Is she anonymous? Don't you think we should see her first?" He questioned again."Oh, not at all. In Fact, she is just outside the door currently. Please bring her in." He turned to Lola who was the only person standing. Lola also turned to Matthew to know if she had his permission but he didn't even spare a glance at her which was a subtle hint that he didn't care. She offered the board of directors a tight-lipped smile then she walked to the door and opened it.Standing at the door was the very slender and posh Selena Winchester. For some reason unknown to Lola, she immediately had a dislike for Selena. Maybe it was because of the cruel smirk on her face or the way she brushed her aside as she walked i
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 57 • Lola Complains to Xander
Lola burst into tears as soon as she stepped out of the office. She ran down to the curb to let it all out as she didn't want Matthew seeing her crying. "Oh, yeah. About that, I actually wanted to talk to you about it. But it seems we'd have to do a physical discussion on it, or what do you think?" Xander's voice echoed as he walked down with one of his hands holding up his phone against his ear and the other hand shoved into his pocket. He walked with calculated strides as the conversation he was having over the phone looked like a really serious one. "Okay? How sure are you about that? Well, we'd talk about that soon. Could you get someone to check on my car? Yeah, the Maybach. I think it has some faults. Thank you very much, and also...." He paused as he heard the sound of someone crying from the corner. "Hold on, I think someone is sobbing around here. Let me check it out." He said. He walked down and found Lola by the curb, crying. "Let me call you back." He said as he hung
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 58 • Hitting A Woman
Matthew's eyes snapped open. Everywhere was still dark as it was in the middle of the night. He sat up on the bed and switched on the bedside lamp. His eyes darted to the wall clock to see that it was just a few minutes past 1AM and this was the fourth time he was waking up that night. He sighed and rolled over. He shut his eyes for a few seconds."Who am I kidding?" He muttered as he removed the duvet and stood up from the bed. He had been having sleep cuts as his mind had been racing with different thoughts. From Lola to Selena to why she was now a shareholder in the company. He just couldn't keep his attention on one and he believed his brain wanted answers which was why he couldn't sleep.He decided to walk out of the room to the balcony for some fresh air. He had a balcony In his bedroom but it faced the garage. Matthew had no intention of looking at cars. The back balcony had a view of nature and the swimming pool which felt more relaxing so he decided to go there.He went to t
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 59 • Tending to Bruises
Matthew remained in the living room for the rest of the night as he could no longer sleep. Xander was in the living room as well. Even though Matthew's mind was racing with questions, he couldn't say anything to Xander. He had noticed the look on Xander's face earlier and it was one that proved something like that has always been happening. Charles walked to Matthew with a cup of tea in his hand. Matthew took the cup with a smile."Thank you." He muttered."Yeah, this should calm your nerves." Charles responded.Matthew only nodded as he took a sip of the tea. He watched as Charles handed Xander another cup of tea. His mind went to Raymond again, and he began to think about what he had said earlier to Martha about not telling anyone about something. He wondered what that thing was.He looked up at Martha's room door which was now closed and he promised to investigate it himself. He quietly hoped Martha had been able to drift off to sleep.Due to what had happened during the night, at
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 60 • Darrell's Assurance
After closing for the day, Selena swiftly returned home, still thinking about what Amelia had said to her about Houston Corps being a Lion’s Den. As soon as she got home, she went to Vanessa’s room to find her but she wasn’t there. She was leaving the room when she saw one of the maids walking down the hallway.“Hey. Have you seen my grandma?” She inquired.“Yes, ma’am. She is in the dining room.” The maid responded and Selena’s lips formed an O shape. She had been in such a hurry that her mind didn’t even go to check the dining room. Without saying another word to her, she walked down the stairs again towards the dining room where Vanessa was sitting and ate her dinner.“Hey, grandma.” Selena greeted me. She walked towards Vanessa and gave her a peck on the both sides of her cheek then she walked towards Edward to do the same gesture. “Welcome home. How is it going at the Houston corps?” Vanessa questioned, with curious eyes.“Um….” Selena started, then the smile on her face immedi
